That's not a personal attack. You took an idiotic position. I even asked
you to confirm your position, and you did. Idiotic positions are taken by
idiots.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that. Hilarious.

To bring it back on topic, basically Mr. McNicoll does not think the
requirements of the TSO pertaining to enroute IFR navigation adds to the
safety of the flight. One of the things I like about aviation is that most
everything in the regs (notice I stated MOST and not ALL) has a good reason
behind it. As with regulations in general, a good part of the stipulations
will not apply to the majority of the situations. As a result, many folks
think they're "idiotic."

I see it simply as part of the attitude of "I've done it a hundred times
before so it's perfectly safe."

Do you see any hazard in the use of a handheld GPS during enroute IFR
flight?

Increased risk of hazardously misleading information.

I'll leave it to the safety experts to determine or estimate the
increased risk.

I posed a similar question to the safety experts some years ago, none could
identify any risk.
